Parks & Nature

Beautiful views looking down at Crescent Cove. Walk down the alley, turn right, keep walking past the steps down to Shaws Cove, keep walking as pass two entrances to Crescent Cove. Continue hugging the coastline, walk up some brick stairs through a residential area, and this gorgeous park and view will be on your left as you climb the short hill.

5 miles north - the state park has great tide pools (check for low tide for optimal viewing). Parking fee.
